INTRODUCTORY NOTICE TO THE
POINT LINE SPECIMEN BOOK.
E have pleasure in offering to the Printing Trade this new and
revised Edition of our Specimen Book, and trust that in respect
of matter and arrangement it will be considered far in advance
of its forerunners, while equal, if not superior, to them in point
of artistic merit.
The title of the book itself bears witness to the changes which have taken
place in the system of typefounding during recent years, while its issue also
marks an epoch in the histories of two foundries which, sprung from a common
origin some century and a half ago, are now once more amalgamated under one
management.
To the discriminating printer the most important feature of the book will
undoubtedly be the evidence, now offered for the first time in a concrete form,
that we can supply our complete collection of Body and Jobbing Types not
only on American Point Bodies, but also on a uniform Lining System.
In addition to possessing these economic advantages, we think it will be
readily admitted that our Selection of Type Faces — now strengthened by the
addition of numerous series from Sir Charles Reed &- Sons’ Specimen Book
—is unapproached by that of any other Foundry in respect of completeness,
variety of style, and artistic merit.
In the production of new series of letter of marked beauty and recognised
utility, we have of late years been exceptionally prolific, and our selection of
Borders has also been increased by the addition of some strikingly effective
designs.
Other useful features of this book which we believe will be welcomed, are
its division into sections, and the provision of an index. Some page numbers are
omitted at the end of each section to allow of the insertion, in their proper
sequence, of future specimens, which will bear page numbers for this purpose.
We trust our friends will make a note of this arrangement.
Although Specimens of Wood Letter are not included in this book, it may
not be out of place to mention that we have pleasure in forwarding our
Wood Letter Book on application, and that all orders for Wood Letter will
receive our prompt and most careful attention.
We take the present opportunity of thanking those Printers, who in the past
have been regular users of our Type, for their loyal support, and we desire
to assure them, and the Printing Trade in general, of our determination in
the future to leave nothing undone to maintain and, if possible, enhance the
reputation which, we have reason to believe, our Type and Material at present
enjoys for accuracy, finish and durability.

THE AMERICAN POINT SYSTEM
Body, Line and Set.
Although the American Point System is now generally under-
stood and appreciated by British Printers, it cannot be said to
have as yet secured such full adoption in this country as in
America, Under these circumstances a few words in explanation
of the system may not be out of place.
The American Point System (like the French Didot Point
System) was, in the first instance, merely a systematic arrange-
ment of type bodies, each body being a multiple of a common
unit. The scope of the “system” has, however, since been
extended so as to regulate both the position of type faces on
their bodies as regards alignment, and also the thickness of types.
Point Body. In 1886 the United States Type Founders’
Association adopted the present American Point Standard, taking
as their unit a pica measuring 166044 inch divided into twelve
equal parts which were called points. The American point
therefore measures 013837 inch. The above figures are given
on the authority of the American Type Founders’ Co.
Under the Point System each size of type is cast on a body
measuring an exact number of these points. Leads, clumps,
brass rules, metal furniture and all similar material, being made
both as regards body and length to point measurements, are
also in mathematical agreement with all Point bodies — not as
under the old dispensation merely with some one particular
founder’s pica and multiples thereof! The convenience of such
an arrangement must be obvious to the most conservative printer.
The gradation of point bodies and their relation to the old
bodies is shown in the following table : —
Table Showing Relation of Point to Old Bodies.
5 Point
Rather larger than
Pearl.
6
Same as S. B. & Co.'s
Nonpareil.
7
Shade smaller than
Minion.
8

2 lines Pica.
30
Rather larger than

36
Same as S. B. & Co.’s ...
3 lines Pica.
48, 60, 72, 84 Point, &c., same as similar multiples of S. B. & Co.'s Pica.
Point Line. — This is a term signifying that the distance
between the bottom edge of the printing surface or face of the
type and the bottom edge of the type body (in other words
“ the beard ”) measures a definite number of points, varying
according to the size of body.
All type faces of the same class on the same size of
body have the same amount of beard — that is, are cast
to the same alignment, and line together accurately as shown in
these lines, without any haphazard justification such as was
formerly necessary whenever Antiques or other display founts
were required to line with Romans.
Moreover, under the Point Lining System all faces, irrespective
of class or size of body, can, with a minimum expenditure of
time and trouble, be made to line accurately together by the
use of point leads, quads or clumps.
To suit different classes of letter, there are three descriptions
of Point Line : —
1. Point Common Line. — For ordinary founts consisting
of both capitals and lowercase.
2. Point Title Line. — For founts of full-faced capitals.
3. Point Script Line. — For Script and similar faces which
have long-tailed descending sorts.
The diagrams appended below show the beards agreed upon
by the British Type Founders’ Association in 1903 for Point
Common and Point Title Lines.
Point Set. — This is the application of the Point System
to the thickness of types. Under its provisions every sort in
a fount has a definite width of body, which width is a multiple
of a given “unit.”
This unit varies in magnitude according to size of body from
1 point to J-point, or in special cases even J-point. The units
generally recognised are : —
For 12 Point and smaller bodies J point.
For 14 Point to 30 Point inclusive J point.
For all bodies larger than 30 Point 1 point.
A large number of the series shown in this book, including
all recent productions, are cast to Point Set.

LINE
TO LINE ONE SIZE WITH ANOTHER—
Subtract the beard of the smaller body from that of the larger ; the result gives the number of points of spacing required at foot of
smaller body. The remaining difference in body must be made up at head.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
HOW A BODY FOUNT IS MADE UP.
NUMBER OF LEADS TO THE POUND.
A fount of body letter is made up in the following propor-
tions, unless any other assortment is specially requested : —
Capitals 9 per cent.
Small Capitals 4
Figures 6
Lowercase, Points and
Leaders ... 56 per cent.
Spaces 15
Quads 10
Rules, accents and fractions are not supplied, except in new
complete founts, or when specially asked for. The weight
varies according to size of type, the same proportions being
used for all. Italic is only supplied when ordered.
When ordering additions and sorts, it will save much time
and trouble if a pattern type of each fount required is sent with
the order. A Cap H and lowercase m, as little used as possible,
are the best to send.
TO ESTIMATE QUANTITY OF BODY LETTER
REQUIRED.
To ascertain the quantity of body letter for a newspaper,
magazine, book or other work, find the number of square inches
in the matter to be set, and divide this by 4 ; the quotient will
be approximately the weight of type required in lbs., but as the
cases can never be entirely set out, it is necessary to add an
extra 25 per cent, to large founts, and 40 per cent, to small
founts, to allow for unused type left in the cases.
NUMBER OF WORDS TO THE SQUARE INCH.
In calculating the number of pages a manuscript will occupy,
the following figures may be used as representing the number
of words to the square inch : —
18 Point, solid
7
10 Point, solid
21
7 Point, solid...

14 Point, solid

“Leaded,” as here used, means “whiting out” with 2-point leads.
QUANTITY OF TYPE REQUIRED TO FILL A CASE.
The following table shows how much type each box in the
case will hold when filled : —
acdhimnorstu boxes, each hold 2 lb.
b f g 1 p v w y boxes, each hold 12 oz.
j k q x z and all figure boxes, each hold 6 oz.
e box holds 3 lb.
Cap. and small cap. boxes, each hold 5 oz.
Comma box holds 12 oz.
Full point and other point boxes, each hold fi oz.
A pair of cases holds about 501b. of type, a double case 201b. to 251b.
The following table indicates the approximate number of
metal and brass leads to the pound of the several lengths and
thicknesses given: —

CHASES.
When ordering chases of any size other than those given as
ordinary stock sizes in the Price hist, the best and only safe
plan is to send a diagram with the order, giving both the
“inside” and “outside” measurements. If news chases, give
also the width of the folding-bars.
Please do not cut or in nt Hate this Specimen Book in any
way ; it is only necessary to give the correct title as quoted in
the hook , and body of any fount , or number of any border, rule
or ornament, to secure the accurate execution of the order.

carried on a type foundry, originally established early

It is still less remarkable that the British type founders,
who accurately gauged this feeling, should refrain from
pressing the idea further, but devoted themselves rather
to introducing and improving mechanical appliances, as
well as to the engraving of new type faces. Even in the
United States, a new country, and therefore naturally
more receptive of new ideas, it was many years before
the point system was successfully introduced, and then
its introduction was due to accident rather than design.
As the result of a fire, one of the most important firms
of type founders in America were compelled to renew
their plant, which had been destroyed. They planned
in the first instance a system of bodies on the basis of
seventy-two picas to the foot, but finding that this unit
would be inconvenient, as making the bodies unsuitable

Loughborough, was the person who first mentioned this subject
to him. Lord Loughborough told me, that the pension was given
to Johnson solely as the reward of his literary merit, without any
stipulation whatever, or even tacit understanding that he should
write for administration. His Lordship added, that he was con-
fident the political tracts which Johnson afterwards did write, as
they were entirely consonant with his opinions, would have been
written by him, though no pension had been granted to him.
Mr. Thomas Sheridan and Mr. Murphy, who then lived a good
deal both with him and Mr. Wedderburne, told me, that they
previously talked with Johnson upon this matter, and that it was
perfectly understood by all parties that the pension was merely
honorary. Sir Joshua Reynolds told me, that Johnson called on
him after his Majesty’s intention had been notified to him, and
said he wished to consult his friends as to the propriety of his
accepting this mark of the royal favour, after the definitions which
he had given in his Dictionary of pension and pensioners. He
said he would not have Sir Joshua’s answer till next day, when
he would call again, and desired he might think of it. Sir Joshua
answered that he was clear to give his opinion then, that there
could be no objection to his receiving from the King a reward for
literary merit ; and that certainly the definitions in his Dictionary
were not applicable to him. Johnson, it should seem, was quite

his friends as to the propriety of his accepting this mark of the royal favour,
after the definitions which he had given in his Dictionary of pension and
pensioners. He said he would not have Sir Joshua’s answer till next day, when
he would call again, and desired he might think of it. Sir Joshua answered
that he was clear to give his opinion then, that there could be no objection
to his receiving from the King a reward for literary merit ; and that certainly
the definitions in his Dictionary were not applicable to him. Johnson, it
should seem, was satisfied, for he did not call again till he had accepted the
pension, and had waited on Lord Bute to thank him. He then told Sir

THE POINT SYSTEM.
Sheffield was not without its
point system pioneer, for it has been
stated that in 1840 a type foundry,
originally established about the year
1810, in that town, published sug-
gestions relating
to a graduated
scale of sizes for
bodies of print-
ing types, fixing
also their height
to paper, based
upon pica as the
common stand-
ard. This idea,
however, was not

TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
Essential to the proper education of
every apprentice is a knowledge of type
faces, and of the many considerations
that must enter into the manufacture of
types. Legible, graceful, symmetrical
and beautiful forms are to a large extent
the outcome of a correct application of
certain principles, and it is necessary to
know these principles in order that the
good may be distinguished from the bad.
Popular usage of certain faces will dis-
close the good, while individual tastes
cry out for satisfaction, and not knowing

A Question of Price. It has often been
said that “ Experience must be paid for,” but
her teachings are made needlessly expen-
sive by the want of forethought sometimes
displayed by Printers about to equip new
Offices. Specious offers of cheap type on
improved principles are apt, on occasion,
to deceive the most experienced Printers:
how much more tempting, then, must they
not appear to the inexperienced beginner?
Whereas, however, an odd fount of infe-
rior quality in an established Office is a
matter of small moment, a complete outfit of
similar inferiority is certain to severely han-
dicap the beginner in his
efforts, if not to foredoom
his otherwise successful
enterprise to failure.
Prospective purchasers
should therefore carefully
investigate these tempting
offers before closing with
them, in order to ascertain
whether the slightly lower
prices asked are due to
the superior philanthropy
of the vendor, or to the
inferiority of his wares.

IT is frequently urged, on
behalf of a new House,
that its methods and
plant are new and up
to date, while those of its older
established competitors are
antiquated and obsolete. A
comparison between the re
sources of an old-established
Type Foundry and a new one
is, however, quite obviously
in favour of the older House
seeing that a Type Founder’s
plant of original steel punches
and matrices can only be got
together after very many years
of patient industry. The new
Type Founder must therefore struggle for a long
period with a painfully inadequate plant, or if his
conscience be sufficiently dull, resort to the dis-
honest expedient of making electrotyped matrices
from types surreptitiously obtained from the estab-
lished Type Founders, whose faces (or rather
inferior counterfeits of them) he is thus enabled to
offer as his own productions.
This nefarious method is adopted by nearly all
the so-called cheap houses, who, in their endeavour
to undersell the legitimate Type Founders, act the
unenviable part of parasites, injuring the body upon
which they feed. It appears extraordinary that
even a house which most floridly advertises its own
original creations should not disdain to be depen-
dent for the majority of those founts which form
the foundation of a Printing Office (Antiques, De
Vinnes, Sans Serifs, and the like), upon wretched
“piracies” of other Founders' faces.
7 Point.
The general use of this Old Style Series by the
leading Printers of the day, is in itself a sufficient
testimony to its merits, while a careful study of
its features will infallibly lead to an endorsement
of the favourable opinion which they have pro-
nounced upon it. Its predominant claims to be
placed in the front rank may be briefly summarised
as being a combination of the following qualities:
extreme elegance of outline, marked clearness and
legibility, added to an altogether unsurpassed char-
acter for durability, which is not the least important
factor in its popularity. Nor is this reputation
confined to this or any one country: our Agents
in various quarters of the globe, with one accord,
report the very marked partiality shown by their
customers for this Series of Old Style.
The statement has been freely made that none
of the Associated Houses would ever be able to
supply type on “Standard” Line, because the
necessary re-adjustment of their plant for this
purpose would be too stupendous a work to be
attempted. Speaking for ourselves, however, we
have but followed the good example of the Ameri-
can Type Founders, and we ask from Printers no
special thanks, except such as may be expressed
in the form of orders for Point Line founts.
Quality It may he safely taken for granted
worth l^lat every manufacturer asks for
his goods the highest price which
paying for. ]le thinks they will obtain in the
market. When, therefore, prices for ostensibly
the same article vary, it is fair to assume that
those makers who sell at lower prices do so only
because their goods are admittedly inferior in
general estimation to those for which a higher
price is asked, and because they cannot, by
reason of this inferiority, compete on equal
terms. The difference in price thus represents a
difference in value, but not necessarily or even
generally an equal difference ; for while a House
supplying first quality goods can maintain its
prices only so long as it worthily sustains its
reputation for the excellence
of its supplies, the degree of
the inferiority of the cheaper
article is not so easily meas-
ured , and , i t is to be feared i n
most cases, greatly exceeds
the difference in price. For
ourselves, as our friends well
know, we have never asked
for their support on the plea
that our prices are the low-
est, but alwayson theground
that our Type is of the high-
est quality, its superiority in
metal alone often account-
ing for our higher prices.
In response to many demands received from admirers of the Old Style No. 2
Series, we have recently completed it by the addition of this 5 point size.
Although on so small a scale it will be gladly recognised that the face loses none
of the well-known characteristics of the series. Elegance, combined with clear'
ness and legibility, are still the distinguishing features. On this account we
feel sure that the suitability of the fount, for jobs where a mult um in frarvo
effect is required, will be welcomed by those users of the series who must have
often been hard put to it for a smaller size than 6 point. We therefore confi-
dently commend this fount to the notice of Printers, not only as a useful adjunct
to the rest of the series, but also on its own merits.

LI MIT A TIONS.
One of the most extraordinary
charges ever made against us in
the way of competition is our will-
ingness to oblige customers by
casting additions to or renewals of
old founts on the old or even on
special bodies, instead of refusing
to supply on any but the American
Point System. Such a charge is
of course merely an exhibition of
jealousy on the part of a competi-
tor whose limitations in the way
of plant oblige him to cast all his
type on one system, whether his
customers like it or not. The fable
of the fox who, himself being with-
out a tail, proclaimed the many
evils attaching to tails in general,
is irresistibly brought to mind.
So far as this Foundry is con-
cerned, the truth is that we are in the fortunate position
of being able to supply our Type upon, practically,
any known System which may occasionally be required.
Moreover, we have always considered ourselves obliged,
as a matter of honour, to furnish sorts and additions to
any fount we have at any time supplied, no matter on
what inconvenient system or body that fount may have
been cast. So far as our immediate convenience is con-
cerned, nothing would suit us better than that our custom-
ers should unanimously demand any one system. We
have, however, never been in the habit of dictating to
Printers as to the system upon which they should order;
and though we naturally advocate the American System
as mutually beneficial to both Printer and Type Founder,
we are well aware that many of the largest offices in the
kingdom are unable, at present, to adopt it in its entirety.
While, therefore, not refusing to cater for the wants of
old Offices, we offer exceptional facilities to the progress-
ive Printer, including a large choice of Lining Body
Founts, both Modern and Old Style, complete with
Italics and all accessories, such as no House outside
the Association can show.

DESCRIPTIVE ACCOUNT OF THE POINT SYSTEM.
Sheffield was not without its point system pioneer, for we have it recorded
that in 1840 Messrs. Bower Bros., who carried on a type foundry, originally
established about the year 1810, in that town, published proposals for estab-
lishing a graduated scale of sizes for the bodies of printing types, and fixing
their height to paper, based upon pica as the common standard. Such a
scheme was, however, not welcomed by printers, and failed ; and in view of
the relations which already existed up to that date between printers and type
founders, it is clear that the former could have had their founts cast to any
point system they liked, by the simple expedient of ordering them upon that
basis — but, as a matter of fact, printers of those days were accustomed to a
large choice of bodies, and selected a particular body according to the needs
of the moment, and without regard either to system or to uniformity. Under
such circumstances it is, therefore, scarcely to be wondered at that they con-
sidered the hard and fast gradations of the French, and other suggested point
systems, as unaccommodating and inconvenient. It is still less remarkable
that British type founders, accurately gauging this feeling, should refrain
from pressing the matter further, but devoted themselves to the introduction

A Question of Price. — It has frequently
been said that “Experience must be paid
for,” but her teaching's are made needlessly
expensive by the want of forethought some-
times displayed by printers about to equip
new ollices. Specious offers of cheap type
on improved principles are apt, on occasion,
to deceive the most experienced printers;
bow much more tempting, then, must they
not appear to the inexperienced beginner?
But although an odd fount of inferior
quality in an old-established ofiice is a
matter of small moment, a complete outfit
of similar inferiority is certain to severely
handicap the beginner in his efforts, if not
to foredoom his otherwise successful enter-
prise to failure. Prospective purchasers
should therefore carefully investigate these
tempting offers before closing with them,
in oi'der to ascertain whether the slightly
lower ju ices asked are due to the superior
philaiithrojjy of the vendor, or to the lower
quality of his wares.
It) Point..
THE TYPEFOUNDERS’ RING.
Most Printers are familiar with the
term The Ring, as applied to the Associ-
ation of British Type Founders. It is
popularly supposed that the Ring exists
for the sole purpose of upholding prices.
It would, however, be more correct to
describe it as an association for the pre-
servation of honesty and fair dealing
among type founders. The chief differ-
ence between the Ring founder and an
outside founder is not to be found in their
respective price lists, hut generally lies in
the fact, that while the former offers for
sale no face or design to the ownership
of which he cannot show a clear title,
the “Pirate Founder’s” specimen book
teems with type faces annexed without
payment or acknowledgment from the
books of their legitimate owners.
11 Point.
THE ELECTROTYPE PROCESS.
♦
HE Discovery of the process of depositing
;! metals upon any given surface by means
I of electricity has proved of great utility.
With respect, however, to the type founder’s art,
this otherwise valuable application of electric
force has not been an unmixed blessing, since
it has placed in the hands of unscrupulous per-
sons a ready means of counterfeiting, at trilling
cost to themselves, the productions of founders
who have, at very great expenditure of capital
and labour, engraved the original steel punches,
metal faces, or matrices, without which originals
no type face can, in the first instance, be pro-
duced. As the types placed on the market are
exact replicas, so far as face is concerned, of the
original engravings, the “pirate” type founder
lias merely to procure, at usual type prices,
small founts of the series he purposes to purloin,
and by means of the electrotype process make
therefrom copper or nickel matrices. From these
he casts counterfeit types, of inferior finish and
quality of metal, to be unblushingly offered to
the public as his own original productions.

duality It MAY BE TAKEN for granted that
worth every manufacturer asks for liis goods
. . the highest price which he thinks they
paying or. obtain in the market. When,
therefore, prices for ostensibly the same article
vary, it is fair to assume that those makers who
sell at lower prices do so only because their goods
are admittedly inferior iu general estimation to
those for which a higher price is asked, and be-
cause they cannot, by reason of this inferiority,
compete on equal terms. The difference in price
thus represents a difference in value, but not
necessarily or even generally an equal difference;
for while a House supplying first quality goods can
maintain its prices only so long as it worthily sus-
tains its reputation for the excellence of its supplies,
the degree of the inferiority of the cheaper article
is not so easily measured, and, it is to be feared in
most cases, greatly exceeds the difference in price.
Type metal is an alloy composed of a number of
constituents greatly varying in costliness. It is
therefore a comparatively easy matter for a type
founder with no particular character for honesty
at stake, to so manipulate the respective propor-
tions of these constituent metals as to considerably
reduce the cost price of his type, without material
alteration to its outward appearance, thus enabling
him to undersell Houses of known reputation.
8 Point.
RESOURCES OF OLD TYPE FOUNDRIES.
It is frequently urged on behalf of a new House
that its methods and plant are new and up to date,
while those of its older established competitors are
antiquated and obsolete. A comparison between the
resources of an old-established Type Foundry and a
new one is, however, quite obviously in favour of the
older House, seeing that a type founder’s plant of
original steel punches and matrices can only be got
together after very many years of patient industry.
The new type founder must therefore struggle for a
long period with a painfully inadequate plant, or if
his conscience be sufficiently dull, resort to the dis-
honest expedient of making electrotyped matrices from
types surreptitiously obtained from the established
founders, whose faces (or rather inferior counterfeits
of them) he is thus enabled to offer as productions of
his own to an unsuspecting public.
This nefarious method is adopted by nearly all the
cheap type founders, who, in endeavouring to under-
sell the legitimate Houses, act the unenviable part
of parasites, injuring the body upon which they feed.
It appears extraordinary that even a type founder
who most floridly advertises his own original creations
should not be ashamed to put himself in such a posi-
tion, amounting to a tacit confession that as regards
the bulk of those founts which form the foundation
of a printing office (Antiques, Sans Serifs, DeVinnes,
and the like), he is dependent upon the Associated
Houses, the fruits of whose capital and enterprise he
has appropriated without payment or permission.
7 Point.
LIMITATIONS OF NEW FOUNDRIES.
The Associated Type Founders are often taxed with
being behind the times because they still cast types to
the old bodies when preferred by their customers, in-
stead of refusing to supply on any but the American
Point System. It is surely the strangest claim to cele-
brity ever put forward by a type founder, that the
limitations of his establishment are such that he is able
to supply his type on only one system, whether his cus-
tomers like it or not. The fable of the fox, who, himself
being without a tail, proclaimed the many evils attach-
ing to tails in general, is irresistibly brought to mind.
So far as the Associated Founders are concerned, the
truth is that they are in the fortunate position of being
able to supply their type upon, practically, any known
system which may be required. Moreover, speaking
for our own foundry, we have always considered our-
selves obliged, as a matter of honour, to furnish sorts
and additions to any fount we have at any time supplied,
no matter on what inconvenient system or body that
fount may have been cast. So far as our immediate con-
venience is concerned, nothing would suit us better than
that our customers should unanimously demand any one
system. We have, however, never been in the habit
of dictating to customers on what system they should
order their founts; and though we naturally advocate the
American System as mutually beneficial to both printer
and type founder, we are finite content that the general
adoption of this system should bo brought about by a
process of evolution, and we are still glad to oblige old
friends by supplying old founts on old bodies. While,
therefore, not refusing to cater for the wants of old
offices, where the difficulties of introducing the Point
System are very great, we offer unequalled facilities to
the progressive printer, including a large choice of body
founts, both Modern and Old Style, complete with italics
and all accessories, east on the American Lining System.
ACTIONS SPEAK MOIiE LOUDLY THAN WORDS.
This Specimen claims attention as showing the first complete
Modern series to be produced on Point Line in this country, as
our Lining Old Style No. 3 was the first Old Style to be cast on
this principle. Progressive printers will not be slow to recognise
from such incidents how hollow are the charges of inaction and
want of enterprise occasionally levelled in interested quarters
against the Associated Houses. It may, however, be well to impress
upon the printers of this country that we are not content with
advertising our ability to supply an odd series of Old Style on Ameri-
can Point Line, but that we are daily supplying all our leading
Body Founts, whether Modern or Old Style, on this principle. The
5 Point is exceptionally suitable for tabular matter, such as Railway
Time Tables, and an example of its use in this form, in conjunction
with 5 Point Lining Hold Latin and Bold Latin Condensed Figures,
is appended, and will, it is hoped, be found both useful and sugges-
tive. Attention is invited to the use of the italic figures. These
are exceptionally clear and effective, and on this account well
suited to the purpose of a Railway Time Table, where it is often
desirable to distinguish certain trains from others.

THE BRITISH PRINTER.
January, 1906.
The Guide for Authors and Printers.
FIVE centuries have now passed since Caxton
introduced “the noble mystery and craft” into
this country, and during all those years writers
and printers in England have been wishing for
an authoritative Style Book. Mr. F. Howard Collins
has filled the void of centuries. The “Author and
Printer,” however, is more than a mere style book.
It is difficult to coin a title which aptly embraces all
that the work contains. English words of difficult or
doubtful spelling, words and phrases in foreign lan-
guages, contractions, principles of punctuation, notes
on grammar, typographical rules, capitalisation — all
are included in this remarkable “manual for authors,
editors, printers, correctors of the press, compositors,
and typists.” The publication of this volume is an
event of great importance, not only in the history of
Printing, but also in that of Language and Literature.
Mr. Howard Collins has spent several years in its
production. Far from the madding crowd, in his quiet
country retreat at Torquay, he has toiled at his task
with a devotion worthy of the cause. The heavy
burden has at last fallen from him — he has created
what no other man has more than attempted.
Mr. F. Howard Collins was born at Edgbaston,
Birmingham, in the year 1857. Schooldays, in the
ordinary sense of the word, he hardly remembers, as
his education was entrusted almost entirely to tutors.
Organisation and systematising, it would seem, have
always been marked traits of his character; and it is
these qualities, combined with unflagging persever-
ance, that have enabled him to succeed where other
men have failed. Until overtaken by a serious illness
in 1899, Mr. Collins led a very active life, his holiday
pursuits including even Alpine climbing and yachting.
The science of navigation, indeed, appealed to him
very strongly. Not only has he devised several useful
instruments to aid navigation, but he has also written
works on the tides of the coasts of Britain, while his
analysis (on a new system) of yacht-racing is now
an annual feature in the Field. Other journals that
have had many contributions of his are Nature and
The Times. In 1884 Mr. Howard Collins began his
long and intimate acquaintance with the Synthetic
Philosophy” of Herbert Spencer, admiration for it
leading him to compile indexes to each work; and
with the knowledge thus gained commenced, with Mr.
Spencer’s approval, the “ Epitome of the Synthetic
Philosophy of Herbert Spencer.” This work, which
is now in its fifth English edition, embraces the whole
of the Philosophy, as finally revised by Mr. Spencer
before his death. An American edition has been
printed, and it has also been translated into French,
German, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian. All his
works are well known and highly valued.
PLANING A FORME.
NEARLY every reference to the operation of planing a
forme emphasises the need to be “gentle” ; but rarely,
if ever, do we encounter a remark about the differences
existing in formes as regards planing. Perhaps the fear of
being misunderstood deters instructors from suggesting that
there are occasions when a little more power is required than
the “gentle tapping” so often enjoined. To speak of planing
a forme as an art will conjure up a smile in many quarters.
The office wag may retort that it cannot be the “art preserva-
tive,while the man whose frame is next the stone will express
his appreciation in his own way. Nevertheless, planing a forme
is an art, to which a little more consideration than is generally
given will yield ample repayment.
There is as great a difference in the requirements of various
formes as in the conduct of those who handle mallet and planer.
A blow which, in one case, would break off all the kerned sorts
or print fine rules on the face of the planer, would do no harm
and be quite necessary on another forme ; while a stroke which
would be effective on an octavo circular would be utterly use-
less in other circumstances. What is the use of teaching a
youth to “gently tap the planer,” if he sees a frequent exhibi-
tion of qualities which might do credit to a village blacksmith ?
Example is far more potent than precept, but a youth may
easily err in trying to follow example without some word of
explanation. Hence these notes are addressed to the juniors.
To prevent misunderstanding it may be emphasised that we
do not advise that Indian clubs and dumb bells be discarded
in favour of exercises with a mallet. The immediate object of
this article is to make clear the folly of “laying on” in some
instances and the necessity in others.
A printing surface requires such a fine degree of accuracy
that the units comprising a forme need to be forcibly reduced
to a perfect level. Particles of dust and dirt and varieties of
compression in a stick or on a galley conspire to raise some of
the characters above the normal height, and the most satis-
factory way to remedy this defect is to apply sufficient pressure
to a planer or smoother laid upon the face of the forme. Care
should be taken that the planer is quite true and clean. When
the planer is frequently used on inked formes, and the ink
allowed to dry, a sticky accumulation forms on the face, much
to the detriment of small type. Unless the face of the planer
is clean, true and reasonably hard, it cannot do the work for
which it was originally designed. Vernon Possnett
IN CASE OF FIRE.
As the best reply to a correspondent who is anxious to know how he
stands in the event of fire on his premises, we may re-quote from the in-
formation supplied by the Master Printers' Association: —
1. A printer is not liable for the loss or injury to his customers' goods
arising from accidental lire during the period of his having custody of
the goods, including the time during which they are in use for work
in progress.
2. A printer's liability for loss of or damage to goods whilst ware-
housing them, caused by robbery, damp, vermin, etc., does not differ
from his liability in the case of loss or injury from fire.
3. The attention of customers is especially drawn to the fact that their
property is liable to injury or destruction from numerous causes, and
under circumstances in which the consequent loss would not fall upon
the printer. These risks are now undertaken by insurance offices either
directly or through the trade.
4. Customers' goods generally consist of paper, electro, stereo, and
other plates, wood or other blocks, completed work, the value of the
re-composition of standing type (the type itself being the property of the
printer), and the value of drawings upon stone, etc.

Printing in Russia.
AT a time when attention is constantly being
directed to the land which bulks so large
in the map of Europe, something concern-
ing the conditions attendant on the exercise of
the craft of printing amongst its people will he
appropriate. An American contemporary states
that from the moment a Russian subject petitions
the Czar’s Government, through the Minister of
the Interior, for a concession to conduct either a
printing or publishing business, he is subject to
the most galling regulations, restrictions and sur-
veillance that the Muscovite mind is capable of
conceiving. A most searching enquiry is made
by the secret police into the antecedents of the
applicant, and if it is found that the slightest sus-
picion was ever entertained as to the loyalty of
any member of the family, this fact is held to be
sufficient reason for a peremptory refusal of the
concession, even though the life record of the
applicant may have been beyond reproach from
an official standpoint. The policy of the Russian
Government is restrictive in the extreme. Pub-
licity and the dissemination of progressive ideas
are most strictly tabooed, and as a precaution,
the Government exercises complete control over
every printing office and typefoundry throughout
the empire, and neither of these establishments
can be opened without first securing very special
authorisation, which each year is becoming more
and more difficult to obtain.
The Minister of the Interior, next to the Czar
the most powerful official in Russia, has absolute
sway in the matter of granting petitions, and he
may render his decision when he sees fit, and it
is no uncommon occurrence for the petition to
find a final resting place in an obscure pigeon
hole, the applicant having to await this official’s
pleasure. An appeal would be worse than use-
less. Should the printer be so fortunate as to
obtain the concession, the
EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY RESPONSIBILITIES
that accompany it and the resistive censorship
that fetters his every action, and his helpless
dependence upon a number of venal officials
devoid of scruples of any kind, are sufficient to
crush out much of the enterprise with which he
may have originally been endowed.
MODERN DISPLAY.
A REPUTATION for artistic printing of an advanced
class is probably the most valuable asset that any
printing firm can possess. It is only to be gained
by truly consistent work — far above the ordinary. Many
firms have laid themselves out for this particular branch
of the trade with more or less success. The greatest
difficulty to contend with lies in making the work pay.
In the production of high-class printing there can be
no time limit, either for composition or machine. Time
is a secondary consideration, the primary object being
an excellent result; naturally this increases the estimate
difficulty. Many printers complain that their clients will
not pay a fair price for jobs of this description, therefore
they cannot afford to experiment ; they want good ordinary
work — jobs that will pay.
But the printer who intends to specialise in art work
should not be discouraged with this view, for customers
are beginning to realise that good printing can go into
any society. He must make his own trade. In order to
do this it is necessary to produce in the smartest possible
manner, according to his resources, some original up-to-
date ideas in the way of advertising ; something that
stands out amongst everyday ordinary stuff, and speaks
for itself. When he has sufficient examples ready, post
them to prospective customers, together with prices for
various quantities. He cannot expect to drive home the
nail the first blow, but he can follow up the first despatch
with a second example, and so on, until he hears from
the recipient. Of course, all this means sinking a little
capital, yet in the end may prove a profitable investment.
The latest demand on our craft is that of writing copy
for customers. This was left in the hands of outsiders
for some considerable time, but the modern printer has
awakened to the fact that there is money in it. The man
who has the ability to make type talk, should at least
have a good idea of how to put together good forcible
advertising matter. „ ...

THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF HEAD

♦
The eighth annual conference of the National
Federation of Head Teachers’ Associations was
opened at Cambridge yesterday afternoon, and
was well attended, about eighty representatives
being present. In their report the council con-
gratulated the federation upon the increase in
membership, which far exceeded that of any
previous year. There are now 47 associations,
consisting of 4000 head teachers, the increase
being due partly to the fact that many associa-
tions had opened their doors to admit colleagues
from the non-pro vided schools.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.
The new President, in his address, said that
nobody who was interested in education could
view the present dearth of teachers with equa-
nimity. The federation regarded it with much
fear and trembling for the immediate future of
the schools, and in London some believed that
the calamity was upon them. It was of no use
to say that in 15 years’ time there would be a
great many unemployed teachers, because how
is that going to affect the present state of affairs

ARBITRATION and PEACE
A statement appearing to reflect the views
of parties interested in the successful flota-
tion of the new Russian loan is published in
the financial Press, with the admitted object
of reassuring the German public regarding
the absolute security of the new issue as an
investment. The statement is introduced by
an ostensibly unreserved confession of those
difficulties and dangers with which the State
and the Government of Russia are confronted
both at home and abroad. It is admitted

THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF HEAD
TEACHERS AT CAMBRIDGE.
The eighth annual conference of the National
Federation of Head Teachers’ Associations was
held at Cambridge yesterday afternoon, and was
well attended, about eighty representatives being-
present. In their report the council congratulated
the federation upon the increase in membership,
which so far exceeded that of any previous year.
There are now 47 associations, consisting of 4000
head teachers, the increase being due partly to the
fact that a number of the associations had opened
their doors to teachers in non-provided schools.
THE PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS.
The new President, in his Address, said that
nobody who was interested in education could look
upon the present dearth of teachers with equa-
nimity. The federation viewed it with much fear
and trembling for the immediate future of the
schools, and in London some believed that the
calamity was upon them. It was of no use to say
that in 15 years’ time there would be many an
unemployed young teacher, because how does that
affect the present? Teachers they must have in
great numbers, and they must keep them, but to

a great colourist, but also a man whose range
was amazingly wide. Perhaps, indeed, the chief

26 HISTORY OF HALLAMSHIRE.
Where is now collected a numerous and active population was anciently a deep
solitude, fhe silence of which was broken only by the rivers pouring their waters in
natural cascades through the woodland scenery, and by the cries of wild animals.
Who was the first to raise the axe amongst fhe forests of Hallamshire, or who
first established himself and his family in one of its romantic valleys, it is in vain
now to attempt to recover. England boasts to have more and better early native
historians than any other country of what may be called modern Europe ; and yet
we are seldom able to fix, with certainty, the era of fhe foundation of our cities and
towns, much obscurity rests upon the ancient topographical divisions of our country,
and even upon many important points of its general polity and history.
Direct historical evidence is wholly wanting: and if from a few existing remains
of the ante-Norman period of our history, and by deduction from fhe view given of

The earliest ol the best-known men of the eighteenth
century was Thomas Chippendale. How familiar {he name
sounds! In point of fact it has become quite a household
word. Throughout the United Kingdom everyone with
any pretensions to the remotest knowledge of furniture
knows this famous master by repute. He is considered
by {hose able to judge as the *' King of Designers, in spite
of the scathing criticism to the contrary against some of
his styles, by his successor — the great Sheraton to wit—
who regarded his designs as obsolete. Time has, however,
proved entirely different. Thomas Chippendale has been
avenged since the Renaissance occurred in the latter half
of fhe nineteenth century, and he stands out to-day second
to none in his own particular style, to which he gave his
name. The record prices obtained for his finest productions
at the present day are a striking proof of this.
Chippendale, fhe date of whose birth is unknown, was of
a Worcestershire family, and his father came to London at
the beginning of the eighteenth century. He describes him-
self in 1752 as a cabinet maker and upholsterer, of St.
Martin s Lane (in those days an aristocratic quarter of
London); and it is worthy of note that No. 60 of this
well-known thoroughfare, where the quaintly carved stone
doorway existed until quite recently, formed the entrance
to his premises, consisting of his dwelling-house, shop,
workshops and timber yard. Here Chippendale and his

Let me not deem fhat I was made in vain,
Or that my being was an accident
Which Fate, in working its sublime intent,
Not wished to he, to hinder would not deign.
Each drop uncounted in a storm of rain
Hafh its own mission, and is duly sent
To its own leaf or blade, not idly spent
’Mid myriad dimples on the shipless main.
The very shadow of an insect’s wing,
For which die violet cared not while it stayed
Yet felt the lighter for its vanishing.

Then can a drop of die eternal spring,
Shadow of living lights, in vain be made ?

HOLIDAY RESORTS.
Jersey is probably the most important of the
Channel Islands, and visitors might spend at
least a month there without exhausting its many
points of interest. The climate is equal to any
in Europe, whilst its record of sunshine is
unsurpassed anywhere in the British Isles. As
he approaches St. Helier’s, the attention of the
visitor cannot fail to be attracted by that very
interesting pile of masonry, Elizabeth Castle,
which was erected by Sir Walter Raleigh upon a
shoal of rocks to protect the entrance to the
port — but which now can only be regarded as
useful for garrison purposes. Another equally
prominent object, Mount Orgueil Castle, stands
out very conspicuously near Gorey, situated on
the eastern side of the island — though, like
Elizabeth Castle, it is no longer looked upon as
a fortification. There are several first-class
hotels, boarding houses and lodgings, and there
is plenty of amusement thoughout the summer
months. Passengers who prefer to go first to
either Guernsey or Jersey may do so if they
wish, but in fine weather it is considered more
convenient to continue the outward journey to
St. Helier’s, so as to arrive in time for dinner.
Throughout the summer excursions are made
almost daily to Alderney, Sark and Herm. Sark has the
reputation of having once been the abode of pirates.
Guernsey is 198 miles from Waterloo, 119 miles from
Southampton, 30 miles north-west of Jersey, and is the
first of the Channel Islands reached when sailing from
England. Never excessively hot in summer nor severely
cold in winter, the climate is so healthy that many English
families have made their permanent place of residence in
Guernsey, and they are as enthusiastic in praising its
advantages as are the great number of tourists who flock
to its shores regularly each summer. St. Peter Port, the
principal town of the island, has provided three separate
bathing places which have no equal on the British coast

The Uses of the Booklet Series.
SINCE its first introduction as a tasteful
and refined “Booklet” type, this Series
has developed into popular favour as a
most useful and attractive letter for bookwork,
for which its clear and elegant cut, its open
and legible appearance, and its great cleanness
and durability in wear eminently qualify it.
Being provided with full equipment of SMALL
CAPITALS, italics, and all details necessary for
book founts, it has been largely adopted by
some of the most important houses both in
London and the provinces for high class book
and magazine printing with very gratifying
results, its use for such purposes having given
the greatest satisfaction. To meet this con-
dition of things, the prices have been arranged
so that while for ordinary jobbing and display
purposes small founts are supplied at the
usual prices charged for Antiques and similar
faces, large founts, such as are required for
book and magazine printing, are priced at the
same rates as ordinary roman body founts —
as shown in current Price List. These rates
apply also to the various series included in this
section of the Specimen Book.

HISTORY OF PHRASE ® FABLE
SAINT GEORGE was the son of lord
I Albert of Coventry, according to the
ballad quoted by Percy, his mother
having died in giving him birth, and the new
born babe was spirited away by the weird
lady of the woods, who brought him up to
deeds of arms. His body had three marks:
a dragon on the breast, a garter round one
of the legs, and a blood-red cross on the arm.
When he grew to manhood, he first fought
against the Saracens, and then went to the
city of Sylene, in Libya, where was a stag-
nant lake infested by a huge dragon, whose
poisonous breath hath many a city slain,
and whose hide no spear nor sword could
pierce. Every day a virgin was sacrificed,
and at length it came to the lot of Sabra,
the king’s daughter, to become its victim.
She had been tied to the stake and left to
be devoured, when St. George came up, and
vowed to take her cause in hand. On came
the dragon, but St. George thrust his lance
into its mouth, and killed it on the spot. The

THE STORY OF ALADDIN.
THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.
OING in early the next morning
the magician called for Aladdin,
and said he would take him for
a day in the country, and on the
next he would buy the shop. He
then led him out at one of the gates
of the city, to some magnificent pal-
aces, each with lovely gardens, into
which anyone might enter. At every
building he came to, he asked Aladdin
if he did not consider it fine; and the
youth was ready to answer when any
presented themselves, crying aloud,
Here is a grander house, uncle, than
any we have seen. By such artifice,
the magician took Aladdin some way
into the country; and as he meant to
carry him farther, to execute his plan,
he took an opportunity to sit down in

LADDIN was just ready to go, when the
magician knocked at the door, and came
in loaded with wine and all sorts of fruit,
which he brought for a dessert. After he
had given what he brought into Aladdin’s
hands, he saluted his mother, desiring her to
show him the place where his brother Mus-
tapha used to sit on the sofa; and when she
had done so, he fell down and kissed it many
times, crying out, with tears in his eyes, My
poor brother! how very unhappy am I, not
to have come soon enough to give you one
final embrace. Aladdin’s mother requested
him to sit down in the same place, but he
declined. No, quoth he, I shall not do so;
but give me leave to sit opposite to it, that
although 1 see not the master of a family so
dear to me, I may at least behold the place
where he used to sit.
When the magician had made choice of a
place, and sat down, he began to enter into
discourse with Aladdin’s mother. My good

STORY OF SINDBAD THE SAILOR.
MEANWHILE I enjoyed much liberty, so that
scarcely any notice was taken of what I did,
and this gave me an opportunity one day to
get at a distance from the houses, and to make good
my escape. An old man who saw me, and suspected
my design, called to me as loud as he could to return,
but instead of obeying him, I redoubled my speed and
quickly got out of sight. At that time, there was no
one but the old man about the houses, the rest being
abroad, and not to return till night, which was usual
with them. Therefore, being sure that they could not
arrive in time to pursue me, I went on till night, when
I stopped to rest a little, and to eat some of the pro-
visions I had secured; but I speedily set forth again
and travelled seven days, avoiding the places which
seemed to be inhabited, and lived for the most part
upon cocoa-nuts, which served me both for meat and
drink. On the eighth day I came near the sea, and
saw some white people like myself, gathering pepper,
of which there was great plenty in that place. This
I took to be a good omen, and went to them without
any scruple. The people who gathered pepper came
to meet me as soon as they saw me, and asked me
in Arabic, who I was, and whence I came. I was
overjoyed to hear them speak in my own language,
and satisfied their curiosity, by giving them a short
account of my shipwreck, and of how I became the
prisoner of the negroes. Those negroes, said they,
eat men; and by what miracle did you escape their
cruelty? I related to them the circumstances I have
just mentioned, at which they were greatly surprised

ECCENTRICITY IN COMPOSITION.
PERHAPS it is only the expression of revolt against
orthodoxy which shows itself in the eccentric arrange-
ments of lines of type. Types are made square to be used
square, but there is a spirit abroad which is ever prompting
us to use material in a different way. When compositors
have learnt the lesson that this sort of thing may be a great
consumer of time, the day is not far distant when they will
meekly return to things orthodox. Then the daily time-note
ceases to haunt, and resumes its place amongst the nebulae
18 POINT.
MEMORY AND SUCCESS.
In the pressure and strain of modern life,
success becomes every day a matter more
difficult of attainment, for in the pursuit of
success, various factors play a part, among
the more prominent being trustworthiness,
industry, and a readiness of resource. But,
important as are these qualifications, there
is one which is even far more indispensable,
and that is a thoroughly good memory. It
is probably safe to assert that no man ever
has, or ever will, attain success on his own
merits unless he possesses a decidedly sound
memory. And yet, strange as it may seem,
although memory is of the first necessity in
striving for success, few faculties are more
inexcusably neglected in cultivation. This
circumstance no doubt arises from the pre-
valent, though entirely erroneous, impression
that a man s memory is a quantity definitely
fixed by nature and incapable of improved
THE CORNISH RIVIERA IN WINTER.
Three quarters of a century and more have passed since
this rare and curious little volume made its appearance, but
the struggle for supremacy between foreign and home health
and pleasure resorts still continues, and it is only compara-
tively recently that the dwellers in London, the Midlands,
and further afield, have, to any appreciable extent, realised
the fact that the blessings of warmth, sunshine, and a mild
climate may be enjoyed during the winter months without
crossing either the Channel or the Continent, or incurring
toil and expense of a sojourn in Egypt, a visit to Algiers,
or even a trip to Nice or San Remo. Q It is obviously in
the best interests of the British householder and taxpayer
that the favourable climatic conditions of Cornwall between
September and April should be made as widely known as
possible. To this end reliable statistics on the subject of
the winter climate of Cornwall have been added to a brief
account of the prominent features of this old world county,
which have rendered it an object of supreme interest both
to English and foreign travellers from time immemorial.
The once prevalent idea that Cornwall was to be visited
only in summer or autumn is fast disappearing. English-
men, and also English women, at the commencement of the
twentieth century, have realised the truth of what had been
boldly asserted at the beginning of the nineteenth, but the
dangers and difficulties of that far-off epoch have long since
vanished. A pleasant journey of eight hours only divides
London from Penzance, and carefully organised services of
motors bring different points of interest within easy reach.

SIMPLICITY OF TREATMENT IN DISPLAY.
■NDOUBTEDLY a great deal of truth lies in the remark that
no royal road leads to the attainment of a thorough knowledge
of the art of job display work. Comparatively few workmen
reach even a moderate degree of efficiency in this branch of the compos-
ing department, for the simple reason that very few indeed will devote the
amount of thought and study, outside the ordinary office routine, which is
necessary to the subject, if success is to be secured. ^1 At the present time
it is generally recognised thai every job or advertisement of importance
should first of all be designed; in other words, that a rough, more or less
perfect, sketch should be made of the wording, which sketch is to act as
a guide to the compositor for the arrangement and whiting-out of the job.
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT IN SUPPLIES.
Just as the successful investment in type, paper and ink is by no
means the selection of the cheapest, but rather the power to choose
the one quality which is the most economical and at the same time
fulfils its required purpose, so it is in dealing with blocks, when the
prices for the same class of work may vary as much as 50 per cent.
There is bound to be a difference in the quality somewhere, for the
increase, although it may partly but cannot altogether represent more
profit, high rent and poor organization, must mean that the expenses
of production have somehow been reduced by means of much cheaper
material and labour, and a lack of that thoroughness which, for best
work, is most essential. The pence saved on a cheap block frequently
means the losing of as many shillings when on the machine. It is a
false and expensive policy to let price be too big a factor in the pur-
chase of blocks. Of course, buy as cheaply as you can, but first see
that the quality is right. <1 These points should be left with the man
who is in touch with the actual printing, but seeing that usually this
is not so, it behoves everyone who has the ordering of blocks to put
himself in that position as far as possible, and to ascertain carefully
the conditions under which each block will be worked, the number
of copies to be printed, the class of paper to be used, and whether it
will be kept for stereotyping or electrotyping. The wood mounts are
the most common cause of difficulties in the machine room, for if they
are of new, soft wood, they perceptibly yield in due time to the con-
stant pressure of the platen or cylinder, thus defeating the object of
the overlay. If stored for any little time they warp or shrink under
atmospheric conditions, so that not only is the wood out of truth, but
the metal is curved also and remounting is not the simple remedy it
would seem. The best timber for mounts is a hard and close-grained
wood, such as mahogany or oak; neither of these, if well seasoned,
change much with storing, whilst a thin coat of varnish to the base is
a further protection. A warped block is such a time-waster that a
number of special mounting woods have been introduced to take the
place of the ordinary timber. The best known is the laminated wood,
which consists of several sheets of wood being glued together with
the grains all lying in different directions, thus preventing warping.

HOLIDAY TOURS ABROAD.
For many years the Swiss tours have been a
dominant feature of the Polytechnic programme,
and certainly they can offer unique facilities, for
they possess a beautifully wooded estate of over
seventy acres on the shores of Lake Lucerne, on
which have been erected some very fine build-
ings. The estate is most conveniently situated a
little over a mile from the town of Lucerne, and
accommodation is provided for six days, and a
return ticket from London for the charge of five
guineas. The travellers also have the advantage
of the Polytechnic special tram, which obviates
the tiresome changing of carriages and Customs
formalities at Basle. The week can be profit-
ably occupied in carrying out a unique series of
excursions, including the ascents of the Rigi and
Pilatus, and the trip on the wonderful Gotthard
railway, besides a visit to the interesting sights of
Old Lucerne. The extra charge for this series
is extremely moderate. A well-arranged tour
to Paris has also proved very popular, facilities
for everything in the way of sightseeing, under
the superintendence of experienced conductors,

NYONE who considers the history of Westminster will
observe with some surprise that he is reading about a
city which has no citizens. In this respect Westminster
is alone amongst cities and towns of the English speaking
race : she has had no citizens. Residents she has had —
lodgers, subjects, sojourners within her boundaries — but no

To write about Westminster and not
to speak of Caxton would be well nigh
impossible. As well write upon America
and forget Columbus. Even at the risk
of doing again what has already been
done by the antiquary or by the historian,
even though one may have found little to
add to the investigations and discoveries
of those who have gone before, we must
still speak of Caxton, because through his
agency was effected the change — that
of printing for manuscript — which has
proved the most momentous, the most
far-reaching, the most fruitful of all the
changes and inventions of modern days.
The Reformation threw open the door
for freedom of thought ; the Renaissance restored
to the world the literature and philosophy of the
past. Printing scattered broadcast the means of
acquiring knowledge. The humble beginnings
of this revolution, the life and achievements of
the man by whose hands it was effeded in this
country, are not so widely known that they may
be assumed as common knowledge. Let us ask,
for instance, who was Caxton ?

SHEFFIELD AND LONDON
HE Houses of Parliament, their constitution, their
history, their buildings, all belong to the history of
the Empire. They happen to stand in the City
of Westminster, but their history does not form part of
the City History. The House of Commons has been
called to Westminster almost without interruption for
about six hundred years. It sat for three hundred years
in the Chapter House of the Abbey : then for three
hundred years more in the Chapel of St. Stephen : when
that was burned down, the site was preserved and set
apart f

v v walk by myself in Westminster Abbey,
when the gloominess of the place, and the
uses to which it is applied, together with
the solemnity of the building and the con-
ditions of the people who lie in it, are apt to fill the
mind with a kind of melancholy or rather thought-
fulness that is not disagreeable. When I look upon
the tombs of the great, every emotion of envy dies
within me : when I read the epitaphs of the beautiful,
every inordinate desire goes out : when 1 meet with
The beginning of the City and Abbey of Westminster is an oft-told tale, but
a tale never truly and properly told. Antiquaries, or rather historians who have to
depend on antiquaries, are apt to follow each other blindly. Thus, we are informed
by everyone who has treated of this beginning, that the place upon which the
Abbey stands was selected originally as a fitting place for a monastic foundation,
because of its seclusion, silence and remoteness. There is no doubt as to the
meaning of some of the earlier writers upon this subject. The idea in their minds
was of a place deliberately chosen by the founders of the first Abbey, and adopted
by Edward the Confessor, as a wild, deserted, secluded place, difficult of access,
remote from the ways of men, where in silence and peace the holy men might
work and meditate. Let us examine into this assumption ; the result, we venture
to think, will upset many cherished opinions. In the examination of ancient sites
there are five principal things to ascertain before any conclusion is attempted —
that is to say before we attempt to restore the place as it was, or to identify it.

a uniformity in the body, and, if possible, in
alignment, would be found necessary. When
initials or marginal notes were required to be
incorporated with the text, then the advan-
tage of a mathematical proportion between
one body and another would suggest itself.

CONVINCING ARGUMENT WHY EVERY PRINTER SHOULD
FAVOUR THE DE VINNE SERIES
CAST ON THE AMERICAN POINT LINING SYSTEM
The De Vinne Series prints clearly, wears well, and makes excep-
tionally sharp, durable electros. Advertisers who prefer the Old
Style character, will find in this Series an exceedingly useful
variation, and the reading public will be impressively attracted
by advertisements when set in this characteristic letter, while
the still increasing demand has now established it as a permanent
type fashion. An examination of the printed matter produced by
printers of all classes will be sufficient evidence of the foregoing

THE introduction of this
elegant and useful series
opens up a ne^ era in the
history of Typography. The
Artist vvh o designed it dre\J
each letter and ornament \?ith
a brush, instead of vVith pen
or pencil, the steel punches
being cut in faithful imitation
of the original drawings. It
^ill be agreed that this inter-
esting departure has yielded
extremely gratifying results,
and the “Auriol” series -Mil
be recognised by all printers
as a successful reproduction
of artistic brush^ork.
222
The very effective
Ornaments, shoeing
a striking originality
in design, ^Vill form
rich embellishments
for most occasions,
and although intro-
duced in connection
^Vith this particular
series of letter, they
can be appropriately
used in all classes of
Artistic Display.

ypographical
Students are
aware that if
profitable as
well as effec-
tive work be
aimed at, the
simplest style
and design is
essential. Hf
an initial, or
border, orna-
ment, or cut,
be introduced
and a colour judiciously used, the value of
a printed page is enhanced without injury
to the simplicity of design, but the use of
twisted rule, masses of borders, etc., often
placed indiscriminately, not only increase
the cost of composition, but tend to de-
tract, rather than beautify and enforce
the salient features of the work. ohis
Series was designed with the above in
mind, and the examples on these pages
show to what extent we have succeeded.

STEEL FURNITURE.
The great advantages of Steel Furniture are fully recognised, and this most useful addition to the
Printing Office is now supplied in convenient assortments as given below. Made in Sheffield, by plant
specially laid down for the purpose, from high-class steel, with the greatest accuracy and superior finish, to
the American Point Standard, it is finely coated with a special lacquer, to prevent rusting — or can be supplied
nickel-plated at a slight advance in price. All the pieces are interchangeable,
and work with each other. Some of the advantages may here be briefly stated :
Saves space in the office.
Saves labour in making up blank
spaces in formes.
The formes are lighter, truer, and
can be more securely locked up.
Greater accuracy ensured by its use,
especially in colour work.
No risk of working up on machine.
Practically indestructible, therefore
more economical than any other kind of
furniture.
Makes six times as much blank
space as an equal weight of metal
furniture at much less cost for time.
36 Point Body.
The Steel Furniture is made in 24 Point and 36 Point body (which work together); the 24 Point having one
notch and the 36 Point two notches, and it is made up in the following useful assortments:
INCHES.
Set 1. Co mplete Set (assorted as below ;) 1380
Set 2. — Half of Set 1 690
Set 3. —24 Point portion of Set 1 ... 600
INCHES.
Set 4. -36 Point portion of Set 1 ... 780
Set 5. --Half of Set 3 300
Set 6. -Half of Set 4 390
Additional Pieces: — 8 to 14 ems, ; 16 to 22 ems, ; 24 to 38 ems. ; 40 to 48 ems, ; 51 to 60 ems, ; 63 to 72 ems, each.
Extra Prices for Nickel-Plating: — Set 1, ; Sets 2, 3 and 4, each ; Sets 5 and 6, each.
The Complete Assortment consists of 8 pieces each length (24 Point body) 8, 10, 12, 14. 16, 18, 20. 22, 24, 26, 23, 30. 32, 34, 36. 38, 40, 42 ems;
and 8 pieces each length (36 Point body) 45, 48, 51, 54, 57. 60, 63, 66. 69, 72 ems; giving a total of 28 lengths, 224 pieces. In addition to these sizes,
lengths of 9. 15. and 21 ems can be supplied in the 24 Point body: though not included in the sets, provision is made for them in the cases. Every
piece is marked with the size in ems of 12 point.
Cases to hold the Furniture : Large Size, ; Small Size, each.
For Prices see Current General Price List.
IMPROVED LEADS.
Improved Leads are manufactured by patented machinery, and are unapproached for accuracy and finish.
They are supplied in full lengths of 36 in. and 18 in. ; or will be cut to sizes as required from 4 ems upwards,
and in any assortment, at an extra charge of per lb.
Assortments of Leads. — Leads may be ordered in assortments, calculated on the following basis: —
An assortment of 100 lb. gives 2i inches in height of all the sizes provided for in the Washington Lead Rack.
An assortment of 36 1b. gives 2 inches in height of all the sizes provided for in the Handy Lead Rack.
( See Material Price List for details of these Racks.)
It will be seen that this formula provides a basis of calculation from which the printer may readily determine
what weight will be necessary to fill the various divisions to whatever extent he may require: and as 1 inch of
height gives, in 3 point — 24 leads; in 2 point — 36 leads; in 1^ point — 48 leads; and in 1 Point — 72 leads, the
number of leads in any given height is also quickly ascertained.
For Prices, and Reduced Prices for Quantities, see Current General Price List.

THE PATENT FLANGED RULE.
(Patent Applied for.)
A LABOUR-SAVING INVENTION FOR ELECTRO AND STEREO WORK.
PERFORATING RULE WITH DOUBLE FLANGE END VIEW.
Advantages. — The great advantage this Rule offers will easily be seen from the above illustrations. By
means of the Flange it can be pinned on to the same mounting board ready for printing with either electros
or stereos, as it is made the same height as the plates — viz., pica.
Styles of Face. — These Rules are made in brass with the usual face for perforating, and also with
ordinary fine, medium or thick face.
Examples of Use. — The following few instances will serve to show the great economy obtained by the use
of the Flanged Rule. If it is desired to perforate at the same time as printing with a forme arranged to
print “ eight on,” the old method would be to have these eight electros or stereos mounted on separate
pieces of wood and imposed in the chase with the ordinary perforating rule. The Flanged Rule would simply
be pinned down on the mounting board on which are fixed the electros or stereos — thus saving the expense
of cutting the wood into eight pieces (which perhaps could not be used again), mounting the plates separately
and imposing in a chase.
This Rule may be used to great advantage in Application Forms, Railway work, and all jobs which require
to be perforated, and printed from plates at the same time. If it is desired to perforate between a scroll, the
flange can be cut away, leaving sufficient at both ends for pinning down.
The Ordinary Face Rule could be used for Balance Sheets and the like where slanting rules are required,
or for two-colour booklets, &c., where the rule border is another colour, as laying on a board is much cheaper
than imposing in a chase, and perfect register is more quickly obtained. Even if a few lines of type are to
appear in the same colour as the border, it would be cheaper to have them stereotyped and laid down with the
border. A much better result is obtained, and in addition there is a great saving in the machine room by
printing direct from the brass rule instead of from electros, which wear so easily.
The rules are made either with single or double flange, but the single flange will be found sufficient for most
purposes. They are supplied as follows : —
